a coaching spot. I knew he would probably want a shot at the NFL. I think if Bill can teach him the finer points of coaching, he would make an excellent replacement for Snyder if given time to develop. Youth, name recognition, great skills, Heisman candidate, and personality that would be very positive recruiting tools for the future of K-State football.

I think most K-Staters knew that Klein didn't have the skill set to play QB in the NFL. He was still the most successful QB at KSU and will be a great addition to the coaching staff! Welcome back home Collin!

How many people choose a career where their heart is not in it? Would someone in the NFL given him a shot at playing tight end? Maybe? But his heart obviously was not into a position change and he wanted to give QB a shot. Like most NFL hopefuls, it didn't work out but truth be told, it's probably for the best because I think coaching is going to work out great for him in time although I think pinhead is a little delusional hoping that Klein could replace Bill Snyder. It will take close to 10 years for any ex-player to gain the knowledge to be able to assume the head coaching responsibilities at most major colleges. I can't imagine Bill will stick around that long (although it would be great if he could). I think Sean is next in line but who knows for sure.

Clark,
Most all of the NFL teams asked him to workout/tryout with the tight ends. I understand wanting to play QB but I would think if you loved the game you would be willing to change positions. Especially with the amount of money you could make in a short time. I also believe it would help with future coaching experience and recruiting. I am not saying it is the wrong decision for him, I am just saying I do not understand it.

I think coach will be here for at least another 3 years. Patterson might wish that he wouldn't have blown off KSU when he was in the mix. However, now I'm not sure that he could make it in the Big 12....TCU and WV haven't exactly lived up to what they thought would happen in this conference.
